Is this a bug, the weekly progress in daily plunder is rewarding 13k keys? I dont want to use any and then get banned for a bug abuse, 13k shiny keys seems rediculous when you sell 4 for 4.99 dollars ---

Bumblebee now? We already got the 31st copy last week! ---

Not to mention Bumblebee was in pet rescues… I’m having to get a buncha extras just to get to the golden one ---

Did anyone actually GET the shiny keys? I got all the way through to the end of the event, and the reward switched back to the Bumblebee. I mean, it HAD to be a bug, they weren’t going to give away 30,000 shiny keys. But I got to the end of the event pretty quickly, I’m wondering if anyone who finished sooner actually got the keys. ---

Quite a few people did. I’d be shocked if less than a million keys were given out through this, even 10mil + is believable. Probably could have been more if people didn’t have to consistently ruin things by reporting anytime that goes wrong in the player’s favor. For all the nickel and diming 505 does, it’s good when their regularly scheduled screwups are occasionally something that doesn’t exclusively benefit them to leave broken for a while. This was never going to get people banned, you realize how many whales they’d have to ban? They’d burn the game to the ground before they did that, we know this because they’ve tried multiple times just in the past few years. ---

Its anazing how quick these devs fix things when it benefits the players. Absolute disgrace once again ---

The devs should send the 13,397 keys to those who didn’t get them in the mail. Seems like the easiest fix ---

On the other hand, this debacle is unfair for the guilds that put in the work and for the players who put in the money to get shiny keys. ---

If people didnt point out bugs whats the point in playing, if you can get all the goodies with bug abuse, the games pointless. ---

Why do people come here and complain after they get the loot. Make the dev team fix the issue. Now you have screwed the rest of the players that did not get on yet. Same nonsense that happened with GAPS! People got hundreds then came to forums after their pockets were full screwing the rest of us. No wonder guilds keep losing players. I for one will never spend another dime on this game if you get to keep the keys or the rest of us get them. Getting all troops shiny is an unfair advantage. If this nonsense stands I will only play war weeks going forward. I am tired of losing out on what others get just because they happened to log in before me. STUPID!!! ---

Why did you collect the goodies before reporting then? 😂 ---

Only knew about it after infinished event, same as every time the event us over and i collect the reward. If itsxa mistake which clearly now its been changed i dont dare if they roll backnand remove them. I doubt these keys are going to make much of a dwal to anybody my lvl or guild lvl sincexall the shiny troops suck and only get used for single events then discarded. How many teams u use shiny troops in regularly? I dont havex1 team saved. ---

What a massive hypocrite you sound like. Wow, just wow. Let other players play the way they want to play. If they get rewards by shortcuts, that’s up to them. IT DOESN’T AFFECT YOU. If it makes the game feel pointless to them, that’s their problem. And if you already got something, don’t try and block others from getting it. That’s despicable. ---

There are plenty of players who got the keys who aren’t using them until the devs reverse and fix issue. Most of them said they will wait a week or so and if they still have them, they will use them up. I had the opportunity to take them, but instead I waited until they fixed it before I collected them. Besides, the only useful troops to use shiny keys are journey troops. Almost all the other shiny troops aren’t worth maxing out yet. That will eventually change once it affects more legends and mythics ---

The Devs said that when it’s a mistake on their part, nothing will be taken back! So, don’t worry, you can use the shiny keys however you like; they belong to you, you didn’t steal them… P.S.: Wait for an official message if you’re worried! N.B: I thought it was a graphical bug, that it was 13397 shiny dusts ---

If you take advantage of a glitch you are subject to a ban. If you received the keys but did not use them they will simply take them back. If you use the keys that is where you are subject to a ban. This happened before where people collected 50 gems multiple times, some folks hundreds of times. The way bans were handed out was if you got the gems but did not spend them they simply took the gems back. If you spent gems you got a perma ban. This gem issue was not the players fault but people that took advantage of it no matter whos fault it was got banned. The devs have never said you get to keep stuff given to you in error. 13k shiny keys that they sell for real money and folks think they can just get them for free and use them to max all their troops is insane. Why would the rest of its paying customers ever buy any shiny keys or anything else with this level of nonsense. ---
